When I was traveling to Dolakha for a short trip few months back, I came to hear an unusual story of a jeep driver. When I asked the driver for his mobile number, he said, “sir, I do not carry mobile phone and I don’t use social media.” I was surprised by his reply and keen to know the reason behind it. I made my way to approach the driver and asked how he communicates with his family. He wore a big smile and replied, “I live the same way our ancestors did few years back.”
